The Dark moments of our life will last only so long as is necessary for God to accomplish His purpose in us . 1 Samuel 30: 1-6
If you want best in your life and desire to be used by Him, at some point you will have to travel the road of adversity. This means that God's purpose for adversity cannot be bad- and yet, sadly, many people allow adversity to become a major point of set back and defeat. You don't have to be among them!
God has designed adversity, regardless of its source, to become a turning point from which you take your greatest leaps forward in spiritual growth. He allows adversity to remain in your life only until it has enabled Him to accomplish His purpose in you. He will not keep it in your life one second longer than is necessary.
Some people are almost wiped out by trials, while others learn to stand in the confidence of God,s faithfulness. The latter have an overwhelming sence of stability and immovable strenght. They weather the storm, head held high, confident, bold, not representing anything. They feel absolutely certain that their God is going to see them through the heartache and bring them out whole and joyful and more mature in the other side .
Adversity also shows us where we stand in our faith. Do we doubt God? Do we thank Him for His faithfulness in the stormy, heart-wrenching times? Can we trust Him when He says He will never is leave us or forsake us?Adversity is God,s most accurate barometer for faith. It also reveal our endurance level.None of use knows how much physical or emotional pain we can withstand.
Right now , right where you are, remember this: God has put a limit in all adversity. Because you are a child of God , the Holy Spirit is living inside of you. He knows how much you can bear. You can endure the suffering and hardshipto the limit God has given you, as the psalmist said: " Many the afflictions of the righteous ; but the Lord delivers him out of them all" ( Psalm 34:19) And as a father pities His children, so the Lord pities those who fear Him. For He Knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust" ( Ps. 103:13, 14).
When we learn to mature in the midst of tremendous adversity , God is pleased because He sees His purpose being fulfilled in us. We are growing spiritually, becoming stronger in areas of weakness, and increasingly being conformed to the likeness of CHRIST. God is thrilled when we respond correctly to adversity !
God weaves three prinsiples threads into all adversity.
1. Adversity is God,s choice tool for building character into our lives. Until we expereince heartache , disappointment , and pain, we are not properly equip for service. He uses adversity to mold and shape us ; He does not bring into our lives without purpose.
2.Adversity usually comes in the areas where we feel the most confident . God wants to break us of the idea that we are sufficient on our own. He made us for loving , dependent relationship with Himself, and He uses adversity to rmeind us of the fact.
3. God,s ultimate design is to conform you to the likeness of JESUS. He has something definite in mind . God allows adversity to mold and shape you, but He uses only so long as is is needed. Once it has performed its function, He takes it away..
What Do you think God has in mind when He allows adversity to invade your life?God wants to accomplish several goals in your life and mine by allowing suffering , and heartache into our experience . Adversity ---
- gets our attention
-delivers us from pride
-reveals our weakness and strenght
-increases our hatred of sin
-demonstrates the faithfulness of God
-strengthens our faith
-remove pride and self centeredness
-prepare us for future service
-enable sus to conform others facing adversity
Though adversity , He is molding you into the mature child of God . Whenever God sees you. He sees a saint --sometimes struggling, sometimes falling, but justified, redeemed , forgiven, and reconciled to Him. He sees a saint full of His unconditional love , indwelt by His presence , sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, whose name is written in the Lamb,s Book of Life. He sees you in your way to heaven, with purpose and direction in your life. He sees someone in whom adversity can never take up permanent residence .
TO ALL WHO DO NOT HAVE ANY RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM MY PRAYER YOUASK HIM TO ENTER INTO YOUR LIFE AND HE WILL AND FOR THOSE STRUGGLING BELIEVERS TRUST HIM WITH YOUR ADVERSITY AND YOU WILL SEE AND PRAISE HIM BY THE END.
